When Georgetown is your Super Bowl…
@FriarJ want to get some insight. I was at the game yesterday, decent seats in the lower bowl behind Hoya bench. Not sure if this was apparent on TV....
Once Cooley was out of the tunnel, he spent a good 5 minutes pointing, waving and thumbs-upping fans. Not the general crowd, like specific people. He seemed like he knew someone in every section. I've never seen anything like it, but it seemed like there are still folks who appreciate him in Friartown
My other hypothesis was maybe he was acknowledging the few people not flipping him the bird. I wasn't being demonstrative, just taking in the spectacle and I swear one of his waves was in my direction
It was fun to be in and see it first handWhat a wild and fun atmosphere.
PC always seems to be a thorn in our side, though it certainly doesn’t look great on paper. Devin Carter is going to have to go off, which is certainly possibly since he’s a stud, but Hurley will basically get to throw all sorts of defensive looks at him. Would have loved to see the matchups this year with both sides at full strength.
I hear you. Carter/Hopkins/Oduro was a really fun core to watch. They would have been a team that could have made some noise if Hopkins doesn’t go down.I love this PC team. I think UConn is objectively better but those guys play too hard to think this is going to be anything other than a battle. Carter’s probably my favorite non-UConn player. Floyd is not.
As much as I am a fan neither of Cooley nor PC, that game, in a way was a crystallized version of much of what is great about college basketball. It matters to people in a very personal way.It was fun to be in and see it first hand
Better than Clemson-Duke?As much as I am a fan neither of Cooley nor PC, that game, in a way was a crystallized version of much of what is great about college basketball. It matters to people in a very personal way.
Pretty cool that you got a chance to see it in person.
How anyone from the b12 head offices could see that and not be on the phone with AD DB is beyond me. Hmmm, Maybe a top ranked UConn puts butts in the seats...Those Kansas students were in their seats like 2 days before we got to phog allen.
8:00 am is later than i expected.
I wish Devin Carter was a Husky. I hate that guy.I love this PC team. I think UConn is objectively better but those guys play too hard to think this is going to be anything other than a battle. Carter’s probably my favorite non-UConn player. Floyd is not.
